I sat there motionless, looking at the card and reading it over and over. I looked up from the card and smiled to no one but myself and marveled that on this day, four Marines had all come together because one of us needed help. He was an old man all right, but it felt good to have stood next to greatness and courage, and an honor to have been in his presence.
Remember, old men like him gave you freedom for America. Thanks to those who served and still serve and to all of those who supported them, and who continue to support them.
If you don’t stand behind our troops, PLEASE feel free to stand in front of them! Freedom isn’t free. Thousands have paid the price, so that you can enjoy what you have today.
